10 things I want to do before I die
Amanda, who is one of Paul Bogush's students, started a meme last week that she hopes will sweep through the blogosphere. She writes in her post:
I know mostly everyone has heard “well what things do you want to do before you die”. There’s books that say 100 things to see before you die or 50 things to do before you die. But I’m wondering right now if you had to pick 10 things to do before you die what would they be and do you have reasons why?
I was tagged by Paul and before I could write the post I was also tagged by Stacy, so here is my list:
10 Things I want to do before I die:

I was tagged by Paul and before I could write the post I was also tagged by Stacy, so here is my list:
10 Things I want to do before I die:
- First and foremost before I kick the bucket I would like to finish the farm house. My husband and I have this farm house that was built in 1887 it was purchased by his parents in the 1970's. It is currently completely gutted. I would love to finally be able to have it all finished and actually live there.
- In addition to having the house finished I would love to have an in ground pool out back. I love to swim and relax in the sun during the summer. It would be nice to not have to travel to the public pool to do so.
- I want to travel to Ireland. I would love to see where my grandmother grew up and meet my family that still live there. I would love to Kiss the Blarney Stone.
- I want to see my children grow up and be happy. I can't wait to see what they become.
- I want to have Grandchildren someday. I want to spend time with them, spoil them and send them home. I want to give them the experiences that I had with my grandmother and the experiences that my children have with my mother or mother-in-law.
- I want to travel the United States. I would love to take time and drive from here to California and stop and see all the sites I can along the way. I would love to see the Grand Canyon, Mt. Rushmore, and many other places.
- I would love to volunteer to do some type of aid or teaching in a third world country.
- One thing that my husband I have talked about doing is renewing our vows on the beach someday.
- Someday I would love to set up an after school tutoring center for students in my hometown. It would be a place where they could hang out after school and get help with homework from volunteers.
- Someday, I will overcome my fear of heights and either skydive or bungee jump.
Now it is your turn tag at least 5 people! Please tag your blog with 10tdb4id so we can keep track. I tag the following bloggers

7 things About me
Well, I have not officially been tagged for this meme, but I am going to take this opportunity to start blogging again. I am not going dwell on my blogging struggles of the past, but I am going to work at writing new blog posts in the new year and let things fall where they may. So I am going to start this new blog with the 7 things about me.
1. Every time I read the 7 things about me blog posts I can't help but sing the song in my head 7 things by Miley Cyrus. I don't know why, but my brain makes these weird associations. So I thought I would just share that.
2. In high school I wanted to become a chef. I toured the culinary school and blew off my SAT's because I didn't think I would ever go to college. Well, I did not go to culinary school and I enrolled in college three times before I actually went. Third time is a charm.
3. I have been with my husband Matt for 15 years, but we have only been married for 7 years. We lived together for many years and had both of our children prior to getting married. I guess you could say that I have done everything in life out of order. Matt and I lived together, had kids, then got married, then I finally decided to actually attend college. I wouldn't have it any other way!
4. When I started college I was enrolled in Early Childhood Education. When it was all said and done I got my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, but I am working at the Middle School. I have found that God has a funny way of changing your plans for you!
5. My maiden name is Yoder which is a known name in many Amish communities. No, I am not Amish. However, I have heard every Amish joke around and I was always asked where my horse and buggy were parked. On our wedding day our friend Aimee was proud of he
rself for telling my husband that our house had been "de-yoderized".
6. My family is very important to me. My father is one of seven children and I grew up with many extended family functions. I love to hang out with my Grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We still all get together several times a year! Pictured here is my Grandmother who is my hero. She grew up in Ireland and met my Grandfather in England during the war. She came to the United States on the Queen Mary and raised seven children with an alcoholic husband. She also spent so much time with all of her grandchildren. My family is great and they are always there to help out at the drop of the hat.
7. I love food. Pasta is my favorite. My motto is any shape, any size, any sauce. If you feed me I will do just about anything!
So there you have it folks. 7 things about me. I could go on, but I will save that for another time. Thanks for the opportunity to blog again. I'm not sure if there are many left who have not been tagged so I will tag no one.
